1592332 - Some IRC rooms empty since 71.0b1 update

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1591399

(Chat Core :: IRC, defect)

Description

[Ryan VanderMeulen [:RyanVM]]

Since getting the 71.0b1 update, I've noticed that a couple of the IRC rooms I auto-join seem unable to display any content even when there's activity in the channel. On the left-hand panel, I still see the channel's new message notification when someone comments in the channel, but the actual channel pane is completely empty. I've seen it in #fx-team and #mobile, but other channels appear to be working fine. I'm also unable to view logs from the channel.

I checked the browser console but nothing is appearing there.

Hey Ryan, can you check the account logs (click Show Accounts, right click on the account and choose "Copy Debug Log"). Not sure if that will show anything different, but worth checking out.

This log shouldn't have passwords, etc. in it, but it will have personal information (what channels you join, who you talk to, messages, etc.)

I've been using IRC fine on TB 71b1 on moznet, so must be something different going on...

Not seeing anything obvious in those logs. Just regular channel activity.

Huh, that's a bit confusing. I wonder if this is a graphical issue of some sort and not a backend issue then...

I'm seeing the following when joining #mobile:

TypeError: Argument 1 of Node.insertBefore is not an object.imContentSink.jsm:258:19
    cleanupNode resource:///modules/imContentSink.jsm:258
    cleanupImMarkup resource:///modules/imContentSink.jsm:381
    displayMessage chrome://chat/content/conversation-browser.js:598
    displayPendingMessages chrome://chat/content/conversation-browser.js:503
    displayPendingMessages self-hosted:869

This smells like bug 1591399. The fix for that will be in the next Thunderbird beta (which will hopefully come out in the next few days).
